Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel
Currently, GNOME panel cannot be resized to be smaller than 23 pixels in height. Many users desire a much smaller panel, both from an aesthetic and a usability point of view. With today's netbooks, the need to be economical with screen real estate becomes all the more critical. Given that Mark Shuttleworth states that netbooks are a central aim for upcoming releases (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel- announce/2009-February/000536.html), it is in line with Ubuntu's interests to improve the GNOME panel for smaller screen sizes. Questions that must be addressed: * What is actually preventing GNOME panel from being set to a smaller size? Icons? Text? * If it's icons, what steps can Ubuntu make toward providing more scaleable icons for its themes? * If it's text, can there be integration between the panel resize dialog and necessary adjustments to font sizes for the GNOME desktop?
